That is intensely annoying I agree and I sincerely hope they are going to get their act together on this before long. I guess it might eventually end up the other way around with the ebook thoroughly proofed and the paper book poorly so.
One bright light though is that if there are errors that later get fixed you may get an email notification like I recently received from Amazon:

You don't get that with print errors in a printed book
